Introduction 


There  are  some  things  so  true  that  no  amount  of 
proof  can  make  them  more  true;  yet  to  those  who 
do  not  follow  the  higher  forms  of  thinking,  it  becomes 
impossible  to  explain  or  verify  them.  But  in  spite 
of  the  skeptical  mind  and  the  scoff  of  the  scorner, 
the  old  things  must  pass  away  and  new  things,  born 
from  new  ideas,  must  come  forth. 

These  are  the  days  of  new  thoughts,  new  state- 
ments and  new  actions,  and  all  these  new  things 
rest  upon  the  deeper  intellectual  and  spiritual  insight 
of  the  race. 

The  first  really  new  freedom  of  thought  was 
directed  toward  the  material  universe,  seeking  a 
fuller  and  more  harmonious  self-expression  in  form. 

The  old  civilization  consciousness  passed  through 
the  revelation  of  matter,  then  on  to  mind,  while  the 
New  Civilization  of  today  is  passing  back  again 
through  labyrinths  of  mind  to  astounding  discoveries 
in  matter. 

The  first  really  new  discovery  in  mind  was  directed 
toward  a  finer  understanding  of  the  physical  body 
and  strange  new  psychological  relationships  of 
health  and  disease  were  discovered.

THE  EMANATION  BODY 

Following  the  trail  of  mind  back  into  matter,  men 
came  upon  the  atomic  mind  of  the  flesh  and  found 
the  body  instead  of  a  solid  lump  of  non-intelligent 
matter,  to  be  a  very  solar  center  of  vibrant  intel- 
ligence as  well  as  a  mighty  dynamo  of  pulsing 
power.  Then,  following  this  clue  still  farther,  they 
unveiled  the  mystical  system  of  reproduction,  regen- 
eration and  transmutation  of  the  flesh  itself,  and 
understood  it,  not  from  the  level  of  a  so-called  dis- 
ordered reasoning,  but  through  the  true  action  and 
reaction  of  life's  finer  forces. 

In  order  to  come  into  a  complete  understanding 
of  these  higher  laws  almost  every  old  theory  about 
the  body  must  be  retranslated.  If  this  emanation 
story  is  the  true  law  of  the  flesh,  then  all  that  science 
has  had  to  say  in  the  past  regarding  the  body  must 
be  reinterpreted  and  rearranged. 


CHAPTER  I 

What  Is  the  Emanation  Body? 


The  emanation  body  is  a  flesh  body  emanated 
from  the  body  itself ;  built  from  the  substance  within 
the  cells  of  the  flesh,  not  entirely  independent  of 
normal  food,  yet  growing  independently,  and  in 
spite  of,  the  absence  of  normal  food  products;  sus- 
tained by  the  power  within  itself;  reproducing  new 
tissues  from  its  own  center  and  substance. 

The  emanation  body  has  power  within  itself  to 
carry  out  all  needed  functions,  and  food  is  used  only 
as  fuel.  The  body  really  produces  itself  through 
psychic  emanation.  It  throws  out  from  its  cells 
that  which  has  become  waste  products  to  the  cell 
itself,  yet  is  a  living  substance  for  the  creation  of 
new  cells. 

Every  cell  of  the  body  is  intelligence  and  lives 
within  its  own  orbit  of  function;  it  is  reproduced 
from  itself.  A  bone  cell  could  not  evolve  a  brain 
cell,  neither  could  a  tissue  cell  emanate  the  substance 
of  the  bone  cell. 

All  cells  of  the  body  have  a  nucleus,  and  some 
more  than  one.  These  nuclei  are  the  open  doorway 
of  the  storehouse  of  the  cell,  and  in  the  cell  itself 

9 


THE  EMANATION  BODY 

rests  the  substance  through  which  it  is  perpetuated. 
Secreted  in  its  own  heart,  it  simply  awaits  the  touch 
of  the  right  magnet  to  release  its  substance.  It 
bursts  to  pressure  just  as  a  flower  crushed  in  warm 
hands  releases  its  odor  or  a  boiling  substance  gives 
off  steam. 

It  is  this  substance  bursting  from  the  cells  them- 
selves which  really  sustains  the  body,  and  the  initiate 
who  understands  his  own  body  can  consciously  oper- 
ate the  emanative  law.  He  can  force  his  cells, 
through  higher  control,  far  beyond  so-called  normal 
functions,  where  they  will  respond  to  a  finer  law  of 
release  and  give  forth  this  substance  independent 
of  the  methods  which  the  ordinary  individual  con- 
siders necessary. 

Living  then  from  his  own  spiritual  storehouse,  he 
transcends  all  the  laws  of  the  ordinary  flesh,  and 
he  builds  for  himself  a  new  flesh  body  infinitely 
beyond  the  reach  of  the  laws  of  the  crude  human 
flesh.  Mortality  has  here  and  now  put  on  Immor- 
tality. This  body  knows  nothing  of  weariness,  age, 
decay  or  death.    It  is  one  with  that  which  is  eternal.

CHAPTER  II 

What  Is  the  Food  Body? 


The  food  body  is  that  flesh  body  which  is  depend- 
ent for  its  life  upon  the  substance  and  stimulation 
of  food.  It  is  that  reserve  quantity  of  cellular  tissue 
in  the  body  which  Nature  keeps  on  hand  from  which 
to  order  its  magnetic  plugs  for  use  in  the  emanation 
body.  There  must  always  be  a  residual  food  body, 
just  as  there  must  be  a  residual  breath  supply; 
something  to  be  called  upon  in  emergencies. 

The  normal  food  body  is  recognized  as  a  thin  cel- 
lular ensheathment  of  all  parts  of  the  tissue  body. 
It  is  always  changing,  increasing  or  decreasing,  and 
the  accumulation  or  loss  of  this  residual  tissue  is 
what  makes  the  gain  or  loss  of  weight. 

Nature  never  intended  any  one  to  be  too  heavy  or 
too  light.  One  should  weigh  according  to  his  height 
and  bony  structure.  It  is  a  false  idea  that  the 
food  body  should  increase  with  years.  It  is  the 
abnormal  increase  of  this  body,  or  abnormal  decrease 
that  makes  old  age. 

All  disease,  old  age,  and  even  death  itself,  is  in 
the  food  body.  A  huge,  purple,  under-aerated  food 
body  is  as  dangerous  to  health  as  an  ignited  dynamite

THE  EMANATION  BODY 

stick;  it  must  explode  somewhere;  it  always  does, 
and  acute,  chronic  and  sub-chronic  diseases  are  its 
trophies. 

The  food  body  must  be  kept  out  of  the  way,  for 
life,  youth,  health  and  freedom,  and  it  can  only  be 
kept  out  of  the  way  through  understanding. 

All  food-cell  flesh  is  soft  flesh.  All  so-called  heart 
trouble  is  from  over-accumulation  of  soft  food  tis- 
sues. Too  many  food  cells  in  the  kidneys  produce 
nephritis.  Food  cells  are  everywhere  through  the 
whole  body;  they  appear  in  fatty  and  soft  tissues. 
All  calculi,  of  whatever  kind,  are  simply  food  cells 
acted  upon  and  changed  by  the  secretions  they 
contact. 

Every  particle  of  food  taken  into  the  body  must 
be  eliminated  and  thrown  out  through  the  functions 
of  the  body  itself.  If  this  is  not  accomplished  it  is 
thrown  back  into  the  blood  current  and  lodged 
wherever  it  can  find  room  in  the  system. 

All  uric  acid  is  simply  decomposed  food  cells  pass- 
ing through  the  circulation  as  poison.  Uremia  and 
uremic  coma  is  over-saturation  with  the  poison  of 
effete  matter  which  should  have  been  eliminated 
through  the  urinal  system. 

The  food  body  is  at  once  our  savior  and  our  de- 
stroyer; and  in  order  to  fully  understand  our  own 
mechanism  we  must  turn  our  attention  now  to  the 
question  of  food  itself.

CHAPTER  III 

The  Real  Value  of  Food. 


The  first  great  lesson  that  the  New  Civilization 
must  learn  is  that  every  mouthful  of  food  taken 
into  the  body  must  be  thrown  out  of  the  body  again. 
When  this  is  not  done,  disease  of  the  body,  languor 
of  the  mind  and  inertia  of  consciousness  follow. 

The  biggest  obsession  in  the  race  mind,  past  and 
present,  is  that  we  live  by  what  we  eat.  We  do  not. 
We  live  or  die  by  just  what  the  food  we  eat  accom- 
plishes in  the  psychical  machinery  of  our  flesh  body. 
We  can  eat  and  die;  thousands  do  this  daily.  We 
can  "not  eat,"  grow  fat  and  live.  Thousands  are 
learning  this  new  dietary. 

The  physical  body  is  a  wonderful  laboratory.  The 
food  taken  into  the  stomach  is  separated  into  its 
component  parts  by  the  action  of  the  cell  intelligence 
within  us ;  then  it  is  sent  on  its  journey  of  nutrition. 
The  coarser  parts  of  the  food  are  all  eliminated 
through  the  intestinal  tract.  When  this  is  not  done, 
the  history  of  bowel  trouble  tells  the  story.  Consti- 
pation, the  fountain  syringe,  cathartic  pills,  gastro. 
intestinal  indigestion,  colon-lavage  all  bear  witness 
to  man's  stupidity.  The  many  appendixless  creatures 
everywhere  are  symbols  of  this  lack  of  elimination, 
coupled  with  the  skill  of  modern  surgery. 

13 


THE  EMANATION  BODY 

Finer  particles  of  food  are  eliminated  through  the 
kidneys,  saliva  and  skin.  Consider  for  a  moment 
the  world's  history  of  kidney  trouble,  Bright's  dis- 
ease, renal  calculi,  gall-stones,  gout,  rheumatism,  all 
glowing  tributes  to  man's  lack  of  understanding  and 
Nature's  inflexible  laws.  Nature  says :  "Get  rid  of 
all  you  have  taken  in  or  it  will  kill  you ;  it  has  served 
its  purpose;  you  keep  it  at  your  own  risk." 

All  the  finer  particles  of  food  are  dissolved  and 
carried  away  through  the  breath  as  carbon-dioxide 
gas.  Tuberculosis,  arterio-schlerosis  and  uric  acid 
troubles  are  the  trophies  of  those  who  keep  in  their 
blood  current  the  poisonous  gases  whose  use  has 
been  exhausted  and  which  should  have  been  expelled. 

The  foodstuff  taken  in  by  the  mouth  is  much  too 
coarse  to  serve  the  body's  purpose  of  nutrition. 
Without  reorganization  in  the  body  itself,  it  is  as 
far  from  the  possibility  of  use  as  the  crude  drug  is 
distant  from  the  thousandths  homeopath  triturate. 

All  the  food  substance  is  separated  into  particles, 
which  act  in  the  system  as  electric  plugs,  and  these, 
carried  through  the  body  by  the  circulation  of  the 
blood,  find  the  center  of  the  nuclei  of  the  cells  in 
every  tissue,  and  through  pressure  (vibration)  the 
cell  bursts  to  its  own  magnet  and  releases  a  sub- 
stance which  instantly  becomes  its  nutrition. 

The  tissues  of  the  body  are  all  true,  certain  and 
constant  in  the  cell  response  to  their  own  magnets. 
A  magnet  meant  for  the  liver  cell  would  never  open 

14 


THE  EMANATION  BODY 

a  brain  cell ;  a  bone  magnet  goes  directly  to  its  own. 
Order  is  God's  first  Law,  and  Nature  is  God  in  divine 
organization. 

Each  cell  calls  for  and  receives  its  own  stimuli,  and 
when  it  has  had  a  complete  mutual  contact  the  used 
substance  passes  on  into  the  eliminary  tract  to  which 
it  belongs,  and  should  be  then  thrown  out  of  the 
body.  It  will  never  be  used  again  by  the  old  cell.  A 
new  magnet  will  be  needed  for  the  next  release,  and 
when  it  is  needed  the  cell  hunger  establishes  the  call 
and  there  are  new  magnets  ready  and  waiting  in  the 
food  body  to  answer  the  invitation  of  the  emanation 
cells. 

When  the  waste  is  not  thrown  out,  the  body  and 
all  its  tissues  become  poisoned.  There  is  no  more 
deadly  poison  known  than  ptomaine  poisoning,  and 
these  dead  cells  are  virtually  ptomaines  circulating 
their  deadly  fumes  through  the  system.  Take  a  look 
at  the  flesh  bodies  of  half  the  young  world  and  at 
nine-tenths  of  all  who  are  over  forty,  and  written 
everywhere  on  face  and  form  is  Nature's  command : 
"Unload;  you  are  killing  yourself." 

"Food,  diet,  digestion,  nutrition,"  this  has  formed 
the  old  world's  eternal  obsession,  and  out  of  this 
they  built  food  bodies,  incompetent  and  abnormal, 
strangling  the  true  life  of  the  emanative  cell. 

Over-stimulation  of  food  magnets  on  the  nuclei 
of  the  cells  causes  an  excess  of  substance  to  be 
released,  and  this  causes  a  false  proliferation  of  food 

15 


THE  EMANATION  BODY 

cells,  and  like  granulated  tissue  in  an  abnormal  sur- 
gical wound,  it  in  time  overruns  the  normal  cell  pro- 
duction, and  after  a  while  destroys  it  altogether. 

All  excess  flesh  and  all  sub-flesh  is  disease,  and 
shows  that  the  tissues  have  lost  their  normal  balance 
between  food  cells  and  the  permanent  atomic  emana- 
tive  intelligence. 

A  thin  coating  of  food  cells  is  a  part  of  Nature's 
plan,  but  not  an  undergrowth  or  an  overgrowth. 
Some  people  are  so  thin  that  half  of  their  cells  never 
receive  stimulation  enough  to  fully  release  their  sub- 
stance. These  cannot  put  on  or  take  off  a  pound  of 
flesh.  Their  food  is  never  separated  into  its  compo- 
nent parts,  but  is  passed  off  at  once  as  waste. 

The  infantile  disease  called  Marasmus  is  a  typical 
picture  of  static  cells.  The  emanation  quality  is 
inert.  The  cells  do  not  respond  to  the  food  stimu- 
lation because  the  food  is  not  separated  into  its  true 
vibration.  Often  a  gentle  electrolosis,  magnetic  mas- 
sage or  mental  treatment  with  magnet  massage  will 
do  more  than  all  kinds  of  foods  or  medicines  to 
awaken  the  normal  action  of  the  emanation  cell. 

Man  made  his  first  appearance  on  this  earth  inde- 
pendent of  all  food  save  that  which  was  emanated 
from  his  own  blood  current  in  conjunction  with  the 
maternal  circulation.  He  will  make  his  exit  in  full 
possession  of  this  law,  and  nutrition  will  be  a  con- 
certed action  of  his  own  cell  intelligence  with  the 
higher  universal  intelligence,  or  circulation  called 
breath.  16 


CHAPTER  IV 

Fasting  and  Breathing 

The  emanative  law  of  the  flesh  is  not  an  occult, 
mysterious,  metaphysical  something  to  be  attained 
only  by  a  few,  but  it  is  the  divine  possession  of  every 
living  soul.  It  is  not  a  question  of  attaining  emana- 
tion, it  is  only  a  question  of  realizing  it  and  being  it. 

Emanation  began  when  life  began.  It  was,  is 
and  ever  shall  be,  and  the  only  really  vital  question 
is  how  one  shall  keep  the  normal  emanative  activity 
and  hold  the  true  normal  balance  between  the  ema- 
native body  and  the  food  body.  And  again  an  impor- 
tant question:  How  shall  this  balance  be  restored 
once  it  is  lost?  Or  how  shall  it  be  accentuated  when 
it  is  dull  or  inert?  The  answer  to  these  questions 
is  easy  and  the  process  of  balancing  it  is  easy,  but 
the  race  man  will  not  make  it  easy  for  himself  for 
many  years  to  come,  because  it  means  conscious 
mental  action  and  self-control,  neither  of  which  are 
at  the  present  time  the  gift  of  the  ordinary  individual. 

There  are  two  important  things  involved  in  the 
operation  of  the  law  of  emanation.  The  first  one  of 
these  is  the  breath.  The  emanation  body  is  an  air 
body.  All  its  action  and  reaction  is  based  upon  the 
intake  and  outlet  of  breath.  "It  is  the  breath  of  the 
Almighty  that  giveth  us  life."    The  emanation  body 

17 


THE  EMANATION  BODY 

functions  through  air.  The  food  body  functions 
through  food  magnets.  The  more  one  eats  the  less 
he  breathes,  and  the  heavier  his  food  body  becomes 
and  the  heavier  it  is,  the  more  it  shuts  out  the  life  of 
the  air  cell  and  destroys  its  activity.  With  this 
lessening  action  there  is  less  call  for  the  oxygen  of 
the  air.  The  less  air  and  activity,  the  more  there 
is  accumulation  of  waste  products  in  the  body.  Inert 
respiratory  action  means  non-elimination  of  carbon 
dioxide  gas  (finer  waste  products  of  the  body) .  When 
this  gas  is  not  eliminated  it  must  be  stored  up  some- 
where, so  it  is  turned  back  into  the  circulation  and 
is  carried  in  the  blood  through  the  tissues. 

The  under-aerated  flesh  of  the  ordinary  person 
tells  the  story.  There  are  many  who  would  be  sur- 
prised to  be  told  that  their  disease  was  only  slow 
asphyxiation  from  the  poisonous  gases  of  their  own 
flesh.  Breath  has  its  first  importance  in  elimination ; 
its  second  importance  is  nutrition.  The  breath  elimi- 
nates the  finer  waste  of  the  body,  and  with  this 
channel  interrupted  the  whole  scheme  of  the  flesh 
body  must  go  wrong. 

Normally,  one  should  inhale  and  exhale  a  given 
number  of  times  in  a  minute.  There  is  always  a 
passing  breath  from  without-in  and  within-out, 
while  a  normal  amount  of  air  remains  in  the  lungs, 
keeping  them  inflated.  Until  the  psychologists  came 
into  the  scientific  field  little  attention  was  given  to 
the  residual  air  in  the  lungs.    All  attention  was  cen- 

18 


THE  EMANATION  BODY 

tered  round  inhalation  and  exhalation,  but  higher 
revelation  regarding  all  functions  of  the  body  re- 
vealed the  fact  that  the  residual  air  in  the  lungs 
often  becomes  a  stagnant  pool  of  gas,  breeding  inhar- 
mony  in  every  atom  of  the  body. 

The  scientist  swung  his  attention  around  the  elimi- 
nation through  the  kidneys  and  bowels,  but  has  been 
forced  to  give  way  to  the  story  of  emanation  through 
increased  respiration. 

As  a  trophy  for  the  stagnant  residual  air  in  the 
lungs  Nature  gave  the  individual  the  fetid  breath, 
decayed  teeth,  pyorrhoea  of  the  gums,  biliousness 
and  many  other  pet  diseases  which  never  yielded 
to  the  old  ideas  of  treatment. 

The  fake  breathing  teachers  found  that  they  could 
do  more  for  a  patient  with  a  few  lessons  in  deep 
breathing  than  the  wisest  medico  had  ever  done,  and 
it  was  proved  that  the  residual  air  of  the  lungs  had 
to  be  thoroughly  changed  or  it  brought  on  a  sort  of 
hypnosis  over  the  emanative  cells  and  a  poisonous 
gas  through  the  tissues  of  the  food  body. 

Breathing  was  always  one  of  the  chief  studies  of 
the  ancients.  In  the  olden  schools  of  mysteries  there 
were  departments  called  "The  Temple  of  the  Seven 
Spheres,"  presided  over  by  the  ancient  Chaldean 
priests,  where  "renovation  of  bodies"  was  a  constant 
operation.  "Renovation"  meant  simply  the  casting 
off  of  the  abnormal  food  body,  and  through  scientific 
breathing,  eating  and  "not  eating"  again  establish- 

19 


THE  EMANATION  BODY 

ing  a  normal  equilibrium  of  the  flesh.  Life 
was  even  restored  to  the  so-called  dead,  and 
the  regeneration  of  the  aged  to  absolute  youth  was 
possible. 

In  these  Temples  the  priests  lived  a  thousand  years. 
These  ancients  were  past  masters  in  the  art  of  ema- 
nation, which  has  been  lost  through  the  centuries 
and  is  just  now  dimly  working  its  way  to  the  surface 
of  the  recollecting  mind.  These  priests  built  their 
bodies  to  last  from  one  civilization  to  another.  It 
was  simply  an  instrument  for  use.  These  were  "The 
wise  men  of  the  East,"  who  took  gifts  to  the  Christ 
child. 

The  breath  is  the  instrument  used  for  the  circula- 
tion of  the  blood.  Science  says :  "The  blood  moves 
through  the  body  because  of  the  'force  from  be- 
hind.' "  Revelation  says  this  "force  from  behind" 
is  the  breath.  The  lungs,  with  their  muscles  of  res- 
piration, and  the  diaphragm  are  the  instrument  for 
its  use. 

The  diaphragm  is  the  principal  muscle  of  respira- 
tion, because  upon  its  normal  descent  and  ascent 
depends  the  suction  power  in  the  central  part  of  the 
body,  and  without  this,  this  blood  would  have  no 
propelling  power  save  the  contraction  of  the  muscles, 
vessels  and  heart  walls,  which  Nature  never  intended 
to  be  overworked. 

Long,  deep  physical  breaths  lower  and  raise  the 

diaphragm.    Strong  inhalation  and  exhalation  empty 

20 


THE  EMANATION  BODY 

the  lungs  of  all  but  the  residual  air  and  allows  them 
to  fill  again  with  clean,  fresh  oxygenated  air.  These 
breaths  can  be  prolonged  until  nearly  all  the  moving 
residual  air  can  be  sent  out.  The  lung  cells  quickly 
make  the  exchange  of  carbon  dioxide  gas  for  oxygen, 
and  this  oxygen,  carried  through  the  tissues  in  the 
blood  stream,  burns  up  quickly,  like  a  flame,  the  old, 
worn  out  materials  of  the  body. 

Deep  breathing  cures  constipation,  because  of  the 
increased  peristaltic  action.  It  increases  the  flow  of 
urine  through  increased  blood  pressure.  The  renal 
system  responds  to  the  changes  of  blood  pressure  as 
the  aspen  leaf  answers  the  wind. 

Deep  breathing  clears  the  skin.  A  marked  per- 
centage of  breath  comes  through  the  skin.  Cover 
the  human  body  with  an  impenetrable  substance  and 
asphyxiation  is  certain. 

Long,  deep,  conscious  breaths  in  regular  inhala- 
tion and  exhalation  aerates  the  blood  stream  and  the 
tissues.  Twenty-five  per  cent  increase  of  oxygen  in 
the  blood  stream  will  burn  up  all  waste  material 
and  leave  it  like  white  ashes  to  be  carried  away 
through  the  eliminary  channels. 

The  secret  of  old  age  is  Carbonization.  The  secret 
of  youth  is  Oxygenation.  The  ancient  secret  of 
Renovation  is  no  longer  a  secret.  The  body  that  is 
oxygenized  at  all  times  cannot  grow  old  nor  decay. 
A  body  composed  largely  of  life  cells,  with  its  normal 
insulation  of  food  cells,  perfectly  aerated,  cannot 
die;  it  is  only  misdirected  life  energy  that  kills. 

21 


THE  EMANATION  BODY 


FASTING 


The  second  important  method  for  renovation  is 
Fasting.  Fasting  has  been  the  comrade  of  breath 
since  reason  and  enlightenment  led  the  steps  of  the 
uninitiated.  Feasting  is  death  and  fasting  is  immor- 
tality. From  whence,  then,  did  this  obsession  of 
food  and  the  necessity  of  eating  fasten  itself  upon 
the  race  mind? 

The  answer  is  plain.  Man  must  eat,  because  in 
the  food  flesh  he  is  only  a  higher  animal  and  he  must 
sustain  himself  in  the  only  way  he  knows  how.  The 
very  fact  of  the  presence  in  our  anatomy  of  the 
organ  called  the  stomach  establishes  the  fact  that 
it  must  have  a  function,  and  that  function  is  to 
receive  food,  but  not  food  as  the  race  man  thinks 
today — not  a  receptacle  stuffed  to  dilatation,  but  just 
filled  with  food  enough  to  meet  the  requirements  for 
fuel  in  this  mighty  engine  of  flesh  and  blood. 

The  lungs  furnish  the  igniting  substance,  viz.: 
Breath.  The  stomach  furnishes  that  which  is  to 
ignite  (the  food) .  The  intelligence  of  the  cell  calls 
for  their  magnetic  point  on  which  to  burst  their  sub- 
stance. The  stomach  is  a  receptacle  for  the  sub- 
stance from  which  these  magnets  are  secured.  The 
tissues  build  a  certain  amount  of  these  magnets  into 
a  food  body,  thus  acting  as  a  storehouse  for  future 
calls.    The  food  body  has  to  be  ready  to  answer  the 

22 


THE  EMANATION  BODY 

faintest  call  of  the  life  cell  for  magnetization.  It  is 
obliged  to  keep  enough  stored  up  to  answer  any 
moment  the  demand  for  new  material. 

The  fine  cells  of  the  brain  demand  a  perfectly 
prepared  magnet  and  nothing  can  be  sent  from  the 
food  body  which  they  will  use  unless  it  is  substance 
fine  enough  to  answer  their  need. 

The  stomach  is  now,  and  always  was,  the  furnace 
into  which  all  kinds  of  food  went  as  fuel,  and  the 
master  intelligence  of  the  cells  divided  it  into  its 
own  chemical  affinities,  and  deposited  it  in  the  food 
body  for  future  use. 

We  must  remember  that  all  living  matter  contains 
oxygen,  nitrogen,  sulphur,  chlorin,  fluorin,  iodine, 
phosphorous,  silicon,  carbon,  potassium,  sodium,  cal- 
cium and  manganese  of  iron,  and  that  all  these  things 
are  necessary  to  the  life  of  the  organism.  It  can  be 
seen  that  they  must  be  secured  by  some  normal 
process,  or  the  disintegration  of  the  flesh  body  is 
certain. 

In  the  living  cell  the  smallest  particle  of  matter 
is  arranged  in  such  a  manner  that  the  phenomena 
of  life  is  possible.  It  has  been  proven  beyond  ques- 
tion that  all  the  constituents  of  the  living  cell  must 
in  some  way  be  established  in  the  body,  or  normal 
action  and  reaction  must  be  interrupted. 

There  are  only  two  ways  of  dissemination  known, 
and  these  are  through  the  food  and  breath,  and  it 
follows  at  once  that,  unless  an  individual  knows  how 

23 


THE  EMANATION  BODY 

to  supplement  his  own  protoplasmic  law  by  the  sub- 
stance released  by  the  breath,  it  must  be  accom- 
plished through  the  agency  of  the  food  cells. 

The  energy  for  muscular  work  and  the  heat  of 
the  body  comes  from  the  destruction  in  the  body  of 
the  carbo-hydrate  foods.  This  is  the  cheapest  and 
easiest  source  of  all  foods  and  forms  the  chief  bulk  of 
the  mass  of  man's  diet.  The  fats  and  oils  are  mostly 
carbo-hydrates;  these  do  not  contain  nitrogen  and 
cannot  be  used  in  building  up  new  or  in  repairing 
old  tissues. 

A  prolonged  carbo-hydrate  diet  causes  the  system 
to  lose  its  nitrogen  polarity  and  become  a  non-nitro- 
genous body,  because  the  magnet  plugs  of  nitrogen 
have  become  extinct  and  there  is  no  magnet  on  which 
the  nitrogen  cell  can  burst  its  substance. 

The  fact  that  some  vegetables  contain  nitrogen  is 
of  no  consequence.  It  is  not  what  we  eat,  it  is  what 
can  be  used  and  is  used  in  the  scheme  of  nutrition. 
A  prolonged  carbo-hydrate  diet  causes  the  system  to 
lose  its  nitrogen  polarity  and  become  a  non-nitro- 
genous flesh  body.  This  nitrogen  starvation  gives 
rise  to  the  peculiar  pallor  so  often  seen  in  those  who 
are  ignorantly  reforming  the  diet.  Carbo-hydrates 
alone  cannot  sustain  life.  The  body  gradually 
withers  away  and  slow  starvation  of  the  nitrogen 
cells  ensue. 

Dr.  George  Cary  says:  "The  human  body  is  a 
receptacle  for  a  storage  battery  and  will  always  run 

24 


THE  EMANATION  BODY 

right  while  the  chemicals  are  present  in  proper  quan- 
tity and  combination.  Disease  is  a  deficiency  in  some 
of  the  chemical  constituents  that  carry  on  the  chem- 
istry of  life.  The  proper  method  of  cure  is  to  supply 
the  blood  with  that  which  is  lacking."  And  this 
supply  which  is  needed  is  the  stimulating  magnet 
which  is  extracted  from  the  food  by  the  intelligence 
of  the  body. 

The  difference  in  the  essential  use  of  carbo- 
hydrates and  protein  food  is  that,  while  carbo- 
hydrates form  a  source  of  heat  and  energy,  protein 
foods  supply  the  material  from  which  the  magnets 
are  drawn  with  which  to  make  new  tissues  and  to 
repair  the  old. 

It  is  an  unchanging  law  of  animate  cells  that  life 
is  dependent  upon  for  the  presence  of  nitrogen  in 
the  system,  and  without  it  all  conditions  on  earth 
could  not  combine  to  create  or  sustain  new  normal 
protoplasm,  and  the  protein  magnet  is  demanded  by 
certain  cells  of  the  body  in  order  to  release  its  nitro- 
genous substance. 

When  we  remember  that  nitrogen  forms  seventy- 
nine  per  cent  per  volume  of  the  atmospheric  air  it 
is  not  hard  to  believe  that,  with  correct  instructions 
and  breathing,  we  may  train  ourselves  to  live  with- 
out any  unnecessary  amount  of  food.  If  we  prefer 
to  absorb  part  or  all  of  our  substance  through  the 
lungs,  no  one  shall  tell  us  we  must  receive  it  through 
the  stomach.    The  same  law  will  not  answer  for  all 

25 


THE  EMANATION  BODY 

mankind.  We  are  all  in  different  stages  of  unfold- 
ment,  and  the  intensely  nitrogenous  individual,  made 
so  through  over-stimulation  of  proteid  diet,  is  no 
more  important  in  the  plan  of  evolution  than  is  his 
less  nitrogenous-breathing  brother. 

Dr.  Cary  again  says:  "In  this  strenuous  age  of 
reconstruction,  while  God's  creative  compounds  are 
forming  a  new  race  in  the  morning  of  a  new  age, 
all  who  desire  physical  regeneration  should  strive 
by  every  means  within  their  reach  to  build  new 
tissues,  nerve  fluids  and  brain  cells.  In  this  new 
age  we  will  need  perfect  bodies  to  correspond  with 
higher  vibrations." 

When  we  attempt  to  establish  the  law  of  emana- 
tion we  cease  eating  and  unload  the  waste  of  the 
body  until  the  life  cells  have  called  for  and  have  used 
up  every  available  food  magnet  in  the  body.  Then 
there  is  a  great  call  from  the  body  (hunger),  and 
enough  new  food  is  eaten  to  satisfy  this  hunger,  and 
the  blood  current  brings  the  waiting  cells  a  fresh 
magnet,  unsaturated  by  carbon  dioxide  gas,  fresh, 
pure,  oxygenated,  ready  to  give  an  intensified  con- 
tact, to  which  every  life  cell  in  the  body  is  able  to 
respond,  and  a  new  body  is  built  from  this  purified 
substance. 

Fasting,  with  breathing,  has  always  been  a  direct 
method  of  purification,  and  in  order  to  hurry  the 
renovation  processes,  the  ancient  used  to  bleed  the 
patient  to  unconsciousness,  knowing  that  the  blood 

26 


THE  EMANATION  BODY 

stream  carried  the  stagnant  gases  of  the  system. 
Breath  brought  new  air ;  air  unites  with  the  mineral 
magnets  in  the  body  and  forms  new  blood. 

Fasting  simply  allows  the  excess  food  cells  to  dis- 
integrate, and  the  blood  being  a  tissue,  the  food  cells 
of  the  blood  also  become  destroyed,  and  with  breath 
enough  to  fill  the  whole  area  of  circulation  with 
oxygen,  the  old  tissues  are  burned  out  and  carried 
away. 

"Breathing  and  Fasting" — These  two  forms  are 
the  two  ends  of  the  pole  of  immortality  of  the  flesh. 
Breathing  until  the  whole  body  is  clean  and  pure  like 
a  clear  pool  troubled  with  the  very  winds  of  Heaven — 
fasting  until  every  particle  of  waste  material  is  cast 
out,  and  the  body  is  evolving  daily  with  the  finer 
substance  of  its  own  secretions.  Then  eating  sanely, 
sensibly,  not  one  thing,  but  of  everything,  not  as  a 
luxury,  but  only  as  a  necessity.  Eating  for  fuel,  not 
for  feeds,  and  the  secret  of  immortality  in  a  body 
of  youth,  strength  and  beauty  is  revealed. 

Emanation  flesh  is  white,  roseate,  firm  and  always 
young.  The  food  flesh  is  dark,  dull,  heavy,  with 
purple  shadows  in  the  lips,  often  yellow,  sallow, 
flabby,  wrinkled  or  puffed,  and  over  it  there  comes 
creeping  daily  more  and  more  plainly  the  traces  of 
age  and  decay. 

In  the  emanation  body  man  sees  God  in  his  flesh, 
and  he  makes  good  the  statement  of  the  ancients — 
that  as  he  was  born  the  image  of  the  earthy,  he 
may  also  bear  the  image  of  the  Heavenly. 

27 


CHAPTER  V 

Rules  for  Fasting 

The  rules  for  fasting  are  very  simple — just  stop 
eating.  Eat  one  meal  every  other  day  for  a  period 
of  ten  days;  then  eat  two  meals  a  day,  night  and 
morning.  There  is  no  one  in  the  world  who  needs 
three  meals  a  day.  This  fast  for  ten  days  (one  meal 
every  other  day)  should  be  taken  once  a  month  for 
three  months.  At  the  end  of  three  months  eat  just 
as  your  appetite  dictates  for  three  months ;  then  take 
up  the  emanation  fast  again  for  three  months. 

This  method  will  prevent  the  abnormal  overload- 
ing of  the  body,  and  keep  the  emanation  law  upper- 
most. During  the  fast,  the  one  meal  taken  every 
other  day  should  be  taken  at  noon.  At  this  meal  a 
mixed  diet  should  be  selected.  Eat  a  little  of  every- 
thing and  drink  all  the  water  you  want,  and  with 
the  meal,  if  desired.  Eat  slowly  and  fletcherize 
the  food.  Any  discomfort  after  eating  indicates  that 
the  food  has  been  eaten  too  hastily. 

During  the  whole  fasting  period  plenty  of  fresh 
water  must  be  taken,  and  at  all  times  during  the  fast 
breathe,  exercise,  walk,  dance,  swim,  climb  moun- 
tains, ride  horseback — do  something.  The  only  direct 
road  to  death  is  Inaction.  Keep  the  body  moving. 
The  flesh  that  is  moved  must  eliminate.     There  is 

28 


THE  EMANATION  BODY 

only  one  cause  for  disease — Congestion — only  one 
cure — Circulation — and  without  breath  and  action, 
circulation  is  impossible. 

It  is  never  a  question  of  what  to  eat  at  the  f aster's 
one  meal  a  day;  eat  of  whatever  is  desired;  it  is 
only  important  that  it  shall  not  be  a  single  diet.  Pass 
in  selection  the  whole  orbit  of  diet.  Nature  says: 
"All  that  My  Father  hath  is  Mine,  give  to  me." 

A  diet  containing  a  liberal  mixture  of  all  the  ordi- 
nary foodstuffs  is  the  normal  one;  pandering,  of 
course,  now  and  then,  to  individual  likes  and  pref- 
erences. 

When  the  appetite  has  become  abnormal  it  should 
be  forced  to  obey  the  will.  Usually  what  one  thinks 
will  kill  him,  will  cure  him.  The  normal  stomach 
will  accept  any  sort  of  food.  If  the  stomach  objects 
to  anything,  fast  until  hunger  makes  even  the  most 
obnoxious  thing  look  good ;  then  it  need  not  be  eaten. 
Choose  some  good,  self-satisfying  food,  but  the  work 
of  reconstruction  is  done  when  one  has  come  to  where 
he  can  eat  of  anything. 

Dyspepsia  is  an  obsession  brought  into  the  intel- 
ligence of  the  flesh  by  a  disordered  mind.  Fasting 
along  the  lines  laid  down  is  a  permanent  cure. 

Why  do  we  eat  one  meal  every  other  day?  Because 
by  this  method  we  keep  up  the  normal  action  of  the 
gastro-intestinal  tract,  while  we  give  a  chance  for 
the  destruction  of  all  the  effete  matter  in  the  blood 

29 


THE  EMANATION  BODY 

current  without  disturbing  the  blood  corpuscles  in 
their  normal  action. 

A  long  fast  depletes  the  cells  themselves,  but  this 
meal  every  other  day  sustains  them  in  a  stimulation 
which  keeps  them  up  to  normal  throughout  the  whole 
ten  days  of  elimination,  never  affecting  the  nuclei 
of  the  cell. 

At  the  end  of  ten  days  one  can  begin  to  eat  as 
he  pleases  without  gastro-intestinal  distress,  and  at 
no  time  does  he  have  a  long  building-up  process.  The 
life  cells  are  emanating  and  building  a  new  body  all 
the  while  the  old  tissues  are  being  torn  away,  and 
at  the  end  of  a  year,  with  interrupted  fasts,  he  can 
find  himself  living,  moving  in  a  body  of  flesh  made 
entirely  of  emanation  substance,  with  a  perfectly 
normal  ensheathment  of  food  cells. 

Through  this  body  he  comes  into  possession  of  the 
transcendental  powers  of  the  flesh,  and  stands  out 
as  a  symbol  of  human  intelligence,  with  will  enough 
to  set  for  himself  a  super-human  law,  and  through 
this  higher  understanding  he  brings  to  the  world 
the  revelations  of  his  new  kingdom  of  consciousness. 
He  has  conquered  weariness;  he  has  conquered  dis- 
ease, conquered  age,  and  is  lord  of  every  action  of 
his  body.

CHAPTER  VI 

Rules  for  Breathing 


There  is  no  particular  time  or  place  for  breathing. 
Breathe  wherever  and  whenever  it  is  possible  to 
breathe.  If  it  is  possible  to  have  choice,  it  will  be 
found  advisable  to  select  the  early  morning,  imme- 
diately upon  arising. 

Stand  before  an  open  window  or  a  well-ventilated 
room.  Exhale — exhale  until  there  is  no  longer  a 
possibility  of  any  more  breath  escaping.  This  is  to 
empty  the  lungs.  There  is  no  use  attempting  to  in- 
hale while  the  body  is  full  of  exhausted  air.  Exhale 
— exhale — exhale — pressing  the  ribs  inward,  with 
the  hands  on  the  outside  of  the  chest,  giving  at  first 
short  gasps  of  breath,  then  prolonging  the  gasp  un- 
til the  residual  air  in  the  lungs  is  exhausted  to  its 
fullest  extent. 

Then  take  long,  deep  inhalations,  filling  the  lungs 
to  the  uttermost ;  repeat  the  exhalation  exercise.  Do 
this  five  or  six  times;  then  begin  the  inhalation  of 
long,  deep  breaths,  exhaling  slowly.  Inhale  through 
the  nostrils  and  exhale  through  the  mouth.  Repeat 
this  exercise  for  five  minutes;  then  inhale  to  the 
fullest  extent  again ;  then,  holding  the  breath,  breathe 
it  out  through  the  body,  directing  it  up  through  the 
head,   forward,   backward;  when   it  is  exhausted, 

31 


THE  EMANATION  BODY 

inhale  it  again,  breathe  it  out  through  the  body,  the 
throat,  the  chest,  the  abdomen,  the  limbs,  always 
backward  and  forward  until  the  whole  body  has 
been  breathed  through.  Then,  taking  one  long,  deep 
breath,  hold  it  and  force  the  breath  downward 
through  the  body  to  the  feet  and  upward  to  the  center 
of  the  head. 

Send  this  current  upward  and  downward  rapidly 
and  with  power.  Do  this  five  or  six  times ;  then  rest 
and  repeat  until  a  reaction  is  awakened. 

This  breath  awakens  the  electrical  energy  of  the 
vital  centers  of  the  body,  and  after  a  while  a  light- 
ning-like force  will  accompany  it,  rushing  from  head 
to  feet  like  a  flaming  fire. 

This  is  Self -Electrification,  and  all  the  electrical 
force  in  the  cells  of  the  body  is  set  loose  by  this 
burning  breath.  This  energy  flows  through  the  body 
like  a  radiant  current,  absorbing  and  dissolving 
whatever  is  ready  to  be  destroyed. 

This  is  the  immortal  breath  of  the  illuminati,  the 
prana  of  the  universe.  It  heals,  recreates,  inspires. 
This  is  the  breath  the  universe  breathed  into  the 
nostrils  of  the  sleeping  Adam;  the  breath  Christ 
breathed  upon  His  disciples  when  He  said :  "Receive 
ye  the  Holy  Ghost." 

"Man  is  not  flesh,  he  is  fire,  and  at  his  center 
burns  the  flame  from  whence  he  came."  With  his 
own  breath  he  sweeps  away  like  a  devouring  flame 
all  that  interferes  with  his  own  godliness. 

32 


THE  EMANATION  BODY 

Just  an  empty  chalice  (the  lungs),  then  the  in- 
breathing of  the  breath  of  the  Almighty  that  giveth 
life — then  conscious  control  of  this  moving  current 
of  electricity  in  the  flesh  body  and  through  the  circu- 
lation, and  our  whole  being  becomes  a  bursting 
electrical  display,  more  compelling  than  the  radiant 
lightning  flashes  in  a  sullen  sky.  Then  Mortality  has 
put  on  Immortality,  and  in  his  flesh  he  has  seen  God. 


33 


CHAPTER  VII 

The  Immaculate  Birth 


It  has  not  entered  into  the  heart  of  man  to  conceive 
of  the  glory  that  is  prepared  for  them  who  love  the 
Lord  (Law). 

He  who  believes  in  the  Law  comes  into  the  protec- 
tion of  the  Law,  and  this  protection  gives  him  the 
possession  of  the  things  which  belong  to  the  law 
which  he  serves. 

When  man  has  conceived  in  consciousness  a  new 
idea  of  Truth,  this  conception  becomes  flesh  of  his 
flesh  and  bone  of  his  bone.  He  is  born  of  the  spirit 
of  higher  revelation.  This  is  the  immaculate  con- 
ception. 

This  dawn  of  a  new  creation  in  the  body  is  accom- 
panied by  extended  states  of  consciousness.  The 
extended  mind  first  reached  out  to  pioneer  its  flights 
into  a  new  kingdom  of  mind,  then  it  was  obliged  to 
return  to  lift  its  flesh  to  this  new  level.  Mind  and 
body  are  one — 

"Wings  for  the  Angels,  and  feet  for  men, 
We  may  borrow  their  wings  to  find  the  way, 
We  may  hope  and  resolve,  aspire  and  pray, 
But  our  feet  must  rise,  or  we  fall  again." 

When  man  has  once  conceived  the  true  understand- 
ing of  spiritual  conception  his  next  lesson  is  to  learn 

34 


THE  EMANATION  BODY 

to  pass  this  through  his  material  universe.  His 
thought  must  become  a  word  and  his  word  become 
form. 

When  this  is  accomplished,  he  finds  that  he  has 
new  gifts,  new  privileges,  new  opportunities,  not 
shared  by  the  plodders  around  him. 

What  are  these  gifts,  and  what  are  their  uses? 
These  gifts  are  first:  Extended  states  of  vision; 
true  clairvoyance,  not  the  mixed  colors  of  ordinary 
clairvoyance  induced  by  controls  or  astral  obses- 
sions, but  a  vision  so  clear  that  the  Akashic  records 
can  be  read  like  the  clean,  white  pages  of  a  book; 
while  the  others  themselves  become  his  mystic  mirror 
and  a  glass  of  water  a  very  sea  of  illumination. 
Before  him,  at  his  own  will,  he  can  spread  out  the 
whole  panorama  of  the  universe. 

Through  the  natural  functions  of  the  emanation 
body  he  becomes  a  true  Illuminati  and  joined  with 
the  extended  vision  he  has  the  mystic  ear,  which, 
listening,  can  hear  above  the  din  and  surge  of  life 
the  true  message  and  register  the  music  of  the 
spheres. 

With  this  vision  and  hearing  he  gains  the  mystic's 
touch  of  power.  His  presence  heals.  His  hands 
carry  healing  and  comfort  in  their  clasp.  His  words 
gain  a  new  meaning — they  do  not  come  back  to  him 
void.  He  can  send  them  and  heal  either  by  telegram, 
phone,  letter  or  person.  His  emanation  mind  becomes 
a  wireless  station,  where  he  lives  in  direct  contact 

35 


THE  EMANATION  BODY 

with  the  universal  mind.  He  no  longer  needs  to 
argue  or  explain,  he  knows.  He  can  suspend  his 
own  thinking  for  a  moment,  and  the  race  mind,  col- 
lectively or  individually,  will  think  through  his  mind ; 
then  by  simply  changing  his  switchboard  the  master 
mind  of  the  upper  ethers  will  speak  their  message 
to  him.  He  has  only  to  listen  as  one  would  listen 
to  a  voice  on  a  phonograph  telling  a  story.  He  has 
a  law  higher  than  thinking;  he  lives  by  the  law  of 
the  impression  message. 

In  this  immaculate  birth  he  companions  himself 
with  the  currents  of  angelic  hosts  and  has  become 
an  interpreting  center;  a  Solar  God  of  his  earthly 
universe. 

Does  this  new  transcendental  state  of  being  sepa- 
rate him  from  the  world  of  service  to  his  kind?  Not 
at  all.  It  only  makes  him  a  thousand  times  more 
useful,  because,  while  he  lives  in  a  human  world, 
he  has  the  super-human  qualities  unfolded.  He  has 
the  emanation  flesh  body  to  work  in,  and  this  body 
knows  no  weariness.  He  can  work  forever  where 
others,  having  only  half  the  truth  of  life,  grow  dis- 
couraged. He,  knowing  all — seeing  farther — goes  on 
in  joy  and  laughter.  Where  others  find  only  a  blind 
alley  of  endeavor,  he  "sees  through"  the  wall  of 
darkness  to  the  better  things  ahead.  He  is  out  into 
a  world  of  usefulness  that  is  cosmic.  His  very 
wisdom  draws  the  world  to  his  side  in  entreaty.    His 


THE  EMANATION  BODY 

very  knowing  falls  like  a  benediction  on  the  faltering, 
uncertain  heart  of  the  multitude. 

He  heals,  blesses,  strengthens,  prospers  and  com- 
forts the  race,  because  he  has  found  the  kingdom  of 
power  in  his  own  soul  and  "borned"  it  into  his 
material  universe.  This  is  the  Word  made  flesh,  the 
immaculate  birth  and  its  gifts. 

The  world  has  a  right  to  ask  what  will  it  receive 
in  exchange  for  this  self-control  and  higher  selection 
on  the  human  pathway,  and  those  who  have  come 
over  this  pathway  are  glad  to  answer.  All  these 
gifts  are  the  birthright  of  those  who  consciously 
take  the  transmutation  pathway  and  make  their  aim 
the  accomplishment  of  the  divine  within  themselves. 

There  is  no  possibility  of  contradiction.  These  are 
the  gifts  of  the  kingdom  of  higher  consciousness 
to  those  who  enter  it.  And  through  the  inspired 
power  of  the  emanation  body,  the  rising  mind  of 
man  finds  a  spring-board  from  which  he  can  fling 
himself  onward  into  wider  and  wider  reaches  of 
divine  wisdom.  Then,  turning  again  to  the  earth 
world  around  him,  he  walks  the  human  pathway, 
translating  all  his  wisdom  into  human  sweetness. 
Sane,  sensible,, still  deeply  tender,  working  lovingly 
and  continuously  for  the  advancement  of  the  race. 
Is  this  not  the  Word  made  flesh?  And  is  this  not  the 
true  destiny  of  the  Grand  Man  of  the  universe?
